THIS ROAD


Where do good times go? people keep asking me and I don't know


VERSE1

Waves of White wash over me, spreading warmth upon the ground

and through the glass it sparkles rainbow diamonds, 

but show no love left in this town

Today it will be different, today is my turn to shine

And as I breath my first deep breath I breath the 

first breath I truly know is mine.


And leaving now to find out what could happen on my way

If I told myself I'd wake up somewhere different everyday


CHORUS

This road 

could take me anywhere I want to go

This road

And where we will end up we'll never know


VERSE2

Now these dots upon the highway turn to white lines as they pass

And these eyes that see them come and go 

see good times knock but never last

My worries left behind me my trouble left me miles back

but new trouble lies ahead of me, so I keep going

Just never looking back, no I'm never looking back.


And each day just like the old one, each mile like the last

Hangs on to me with it's last breath, but I'm carried much to fast by


CHORUS

This road 

could take me anywhere I want to go

This road

And where we will end up we'll never know


BRIDGE

I keep on going till the place no one can find me

I know it must be somewhere out there

Until that day, I hear footsteps right behind me

So I'll keep on going till I'm gone 


CHORUS

This road 

could take me anywhere I want to go

This road

And where we will end up we'll never know



FALLING APART


VERSE1

I pick up the phone 

the sweetest voice I've ever heard.

And I know it's you

before you even speak a word


And every thing's falling apart, I want you so bad to notice

But when you ask me how I am, all that I can say


CHORUS

I say that every thing's alright

I say that every thing's just fine

I say that things are going great

I say that things are getting better

You say that life's been going good

You say that every thing's okay

I say that every thing's alright


VERSE2

I miss your face

you know your always on my mind

and I miss your smile

I think about it all the time


And I hope somewhere you know, I just hope your happy

I want for you to know but I say


CHORUS

I say that every thing's alright

I say that every thing's just fine

I say that things are going great

I say that things are getting better

You say that life's been going good

You say that every thing's okay

I say that every thing's alright


I say that every thing's alright

I say that every thing's just fine

I say that things are going great

I say that things are getting better

You say that life's been going good

You say that every thing's okay

I say that every thing's alright

I say I'm looking towards that bright side


I say that every thing's alright

I say I'm learning not to worry 

You say your jobs been going good

you say you think your really happy

I say I think that I am too

I say that every thing's alright

You say that every things alright


WORDS I WHISPER


VERSE1

There are words I whisper

but don't know what they mean

but every time I think of one, I whisper

Saying those words

I know you want to hear

just cause I know I will get that smile


but there are doubts in voice, there are doubts in my soul

but right now I know just what I'm saying


CHORUS

I'm starting to find out all of this self doubt

well I harbor for no reason

cause you just turn your eyes to me

you look right through it all

but for all the words I whisper

I'm finally figuring out what the one called love is for


VERSE2

Now before I'd see you 

drowning in your tears

listening to another silly love song

No matter how I listened 

I could not understand

what could effect you in that way


CHORUS

I'm starting to find out all of this self doubt

well I harbor for no reason

cause you just turn your eyes to me

you look right through it all

but for all the words I whisper

I'm finally figuring out what the one called love is for


VERSE3

And so now I whisper

and I know just what I say

And yeah I start to cry now

to every love song

One thing I have learned

you give what you receive

And I look at you and I know just what

I've been given


And words so hard to whisper, so easy now to say

I feel it through me everyday


CHORUS

I'm starting to find out all of this self doubt

well I harbor for no reason

cause you just turn your eyes to me

you look right through it all

but for all the words I whisper

I'm finally figuring out what the one called love is for


Yes I've finally figured out what the one called love is for
